Listening Station: Milking “Cornflake Girl” For All Its Worth

jawboxpho.jpegBy request, here’s another cover version of Tori Amos’ “Cornflake Girl,” this time performed by the D.C. powerhouse known as Jawbox. Weirdly, according to Wiki, Amos’ original version hit No. 4 in the U.K., surely making it the second-most popular raisin-related song of all time.

    Hell yes. A version where you don’t have to fast-forward through “Absenter”!

    Haha, too true. (But didn’t it turn up on the rarities comp? My mind may be foggy on the point.)

    @Jerkwheat: Agreed!

    @Ned Raggett:

    Nope. It wasn’t on My Scrapbook of Fatal Accidents. Nor was their version of the Avengers’ “Thin White Line” or the studio version of “68.”
